The International Screenwriters’ Workshops are a unique experience for independent filmmakers. An international jury selects nine talented screenwriters per workshop. During the workshop, the screenwriters meet in one-to-one discussions with nine advisors – internationally known and experienced writers, directors and producers – from all over the world. At the end of the workshops, a one-day master class with a renowned writer will be held.

Thanks to an agreement, one screenwriter living in Switzerland or Swiss screenwriter living abroad can participate in this Workshop. The candidates must have written a minimum of one produced feature length script. Screenplays
are recommended to be at an advanced stage of development (third draft) and have a producer attached to the project.

On the last day of the workshop, the producers of the projects are invited to take part in an extensive wrap-up discussion about their script with the screenwriter and three advisors.

«In the eQuinoxe programme, I met the most professional, experienced,
humorous, strict, and constructive advisers who any author could dream
of having as sparing partners
